Death notifications

[The Yeti]

So, there's a lot of talk on the insmod.org forums regarding death notifications. It seems as if a 63.22% of 87 voters would like to see a reduction in the amount of server-side mods. They define server side mods as death notifications, hlxstats and any custom sounds/graphics. The actual discussion following the poll has more people concerned about the death notifications than any of their other points. So I'd say a good 60% would like to see death notifications removed. What do you guys think? I remember someone saying that it hurt player numbers, but now it would seem as if people want it that way. Think we should give it a try?

I believe the death notifications arent necessary on the side, but i love hlstatsx

i like to know who killed me and who it is i killed but hlx does that so we wouldn't 100% need death notes. its a bit swings and roundabouts

I want to have it cuz i wanna keep a count of how many people ive killed

i like knowing who kills me and vice versa . id like to see something done with the admin chat text. something like what the tf2 division has for an example.

Ya we should keep hlx but the death notifications, I don't think, would be missed too much. I would probably take some time getting used to though.

Keep hlx, I love it giving me 1 pt for headshotting my teammates

I like knowing who killed me. ya some people say it takes away from the realism, but think about it....its a game.
